Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (Help me out)

[H-Hour]

Some of you know I recently visited Israel and Palestine. I plan to go back and do some volunteer work for a while. I'll be helping out with on-going projects, but I hope to also concern myself with working towards a better understanding of the conflict in America.

Here's how you can help me. If you've got a bit of spare time, or you're bored at work, would you be willing to fill out a short (13 questions) survey for me? The questions simply ask for your opinion on various aspects of the issue and are intended to help me gauge what you do or do not know/believe about the conflict. If you think you know a lot or a little, it doesn't matter. If you're long-winded or very short in your answers, it doesn't matter.

It's not connected with any organization or project or any such thing. It is entirely for my personal use, so that when I am in a position to make decisions on getting information out, I can make better decisions.

You don't need to give me your name and I don't care what religious, political or moral affiliations you do or do not have. You would be doing me a very big anonymous favor.

What do you know about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I'm really not one for pictures. I visited the Church of the Nativity, and Shepherd's Field at Beit Sahour, but I didn't take any pictures.

I filled it out, I am not very informed on the situation (as my survey will say) but I gave my honest opinions on what I have seen.

Filled it out too. All my answers come from my Faith and bible studies I've done extensively. So just know that my answers are in that direction.

It is a vicious circle, indeed... The question is how to break the cycle of violence...

I bugged my parents to see if they took any pictures of that stuff this trip and they sent me a few.

The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem (exterior)
The Church of the Nativity (interior - Catholic Church)
Greek Orthodox Monastery
Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem
The Wailing Wall in Jerusalem (the dome on the far right is the Al-Aqsa Mosque - this ground saw the start of the last intifada)
Jerusalem as seen from the Mount of Olives (Gold dome is Dome of the Rock)
